Dear Newest Graduate Nurses (Winter Class of 2020), Recently, I viewed the Zoom presentation of the first evening/weekend graduation of St. Luke’s School Nursing. Although you were unable to have a LIVE Ceremony, it was nice that you were able to have some validation of your accomplishment on Zoom. I only wish that I could have been a part of it. As President of the Alumni Association, I would like to extend congratulations on behalf of the Alumni Board of Directors to all ...21 graduates and your families. Also, as graduates, I want to remind you that you are automatically members of the Alumni Association. So, I would like to invite you to not only support your alumni association, but also become active members, once we get back to our new norm. Until then, please be well and safe. Virtual Hugs to All, Sandra Tirpak Davidyock, RN (1969) Alumni President P.S. If you remember, at the Promotion Ceremony, I said I was a hugger and that I was looking forward to giving each of you a rose and a hug at graduation :)

We are not alone in meeting today's challenge...

We are thankful for the Class of 1972. Members of that class raised $1150.00 to be donated to the hospital program Feeding the Frontlines. Feeding the Frontline...s is a SLUHN initiative to show support for our healthcare heroes while helping to support our local restaurant community. The hope is to make the employees life a little easier after a long day of fighting Covid. Many have to return home and care for their families. The gift cards to local restaurants can help the employee and also our community. Thanks also to Mary Crocus for organizing this amazing effort. See more

We are proud of our graduates. Thank YOU for caring for our community.
